That Interesting Case.a

To tho Editors Of the Appeals
Mr.. and Mrs. McAlister have been
greatly misrepresented by the negroes
with regard to the colored girl whom
they hold by adoption. The writer
has consulted the girl on two different
occasions, and each time she protested
against leaving her good home
and guardians. / have known her
for two years, and know that abe does
mostly az she pleasee. Mr.. McAlister
is well known to the leading mer-
chants Of the city, who will indorse
him an an honorable gentleman. This
TRADE OF abuse against him and his
wife grows out Of jealousy and preiu'
dice; but, for the sake OF harmony, the
couple are willing to surrended the
girl to any respectable family, provid'
ed she aequieees. J.D.L.

Warming Central Vermont Cars.

President j. Gregory Smith, in an inter-
view with Boston journal correspondent
last week, said: "The managers of the road
have given the subject of car-heating careful
consideration since their return from Hart
ford and experiments have been in progress
during the past week at the companys
shops here with a view of ascertaining the
best method of warming cars. The relative
merits of hot-air and steam-heating appara-
tus are being tested, with view of adop-
ting the safest system. The managers closed
acontract Thursday with h. G. Chase onWest
Medford, Mass, for equipping train with
the Williams system of car-heating with
steam from the engine. The Williams plan
has been carefully examined by the mana
gers. 1t was decided to make a thorough
test of the system, and in order to do so we
have ordered the local passenger trains Nos.
s. s and 80, running between st. Adams and
White River junction, to be equipped with
this system" By the Williams system the
steam-pipes on each side of the car are con-
nected by flexible hose and coupling with
the steam pipes on the same side of the cars
preceding and following, and the forward
car in similar manner to the engine. At
the rear end of the rear car the two lines of
steam-pipes are connected. This makes a
complete circuit of pipe from the engine,
down through one side of the whole train of
cars and back through the opposite side to
the tender, where the pipe passes through
the water in the tank to an air-pump placed
on the engine in "A position, for instance.
corresponding to the Westinghouse brake
pump. BY this ar-pump a sufficient vacuum
is maintained in the heating pipes to keep
their entire length in any desired number
of cars perfectly free from water and air and
to produce an almost instantaneous circula-
ton of even exhaust steam, without any
back pressure. Therefore, in case of acct
dent or any fracture of the pipes, not only
will there be no escape of steam, but the air
outside will be drawn into them. The water
being removed by the pump Immediately
after condensation, there is no freezing and
the whole surface of the pipes becomes
available heating surface. The cars thus
equipped will be running on the road in a
few days. Ex-Governor Smith has quite de-
cided that no more coal stoves will be put
in cars owned by the Central Vermont
He says the managers of the road are hav.
ing built at the Pullman Car Company's
works some fine passenger cars to be placed
on the Boston and Montreal line next sum
mer. The management propose to equiv
the cars with the most approved systems OF
heating and lighting. The Pullman Com
pany are now experimenting with severa
different kinds of apparatus for warming
cars by steam and lighting them by cleo
tricity. Two of the latest style of Pullman
seepers will take the place Of those de

they give especial attention to this subject
by conference with officials of roads with
which they have connection or business
relations, and by affording opportunities for
experiment upon such inventions as seem to
present promise of value in the direction Of
safety from fire and suffocation in cases Of
deralment and collision.
The subject of the want of a guard-rail
upon the approach to the bridge has been
called to our attention. In view of the fact
which we find, that the want of such rail in
no wise contributed to this accident, and
the existence of such rail in this case would
not have prevented the same, we do not
feel called upon to make any recommends
ton in regard thereto at this time; but it
seems proper at this time and upon this
matter to advise all the railroad companies
of the state to take into consideration the
most approved methods in vogue anywhere
for the better equipment of their bridge APP
proaches where needed, with strong but
tresses, flaring safety beams or other practi-
cal devices to diminish the fatality of this
class of accidents. Such seasonabe precau-
tons should be taken before rather than
after the occurrence of any fatal calamity.
